Oh, poor Crae, still confused. Of course he’s getting the kolto tank in case he’s the one that needs it next time. Of course. I’m really enjoying the ‘what the hell am I doing here’ vibe from Crae right now.

Haven’t seen Mako with Torian, but she’s supposed to really like bounty hunters. I suppose that’s what she sees in Torian. I don’t have Torian yet, so that’s a guess.

Rixik is absolutely playing her like a fiddle.

Strangely, her interests line up fairly well for affection gain purposes. I expected to end up bribing her with gifts a lot (with Rixik, it really does feel like bribing as opposed to a game mechanic) but I don’t lose affection nearly as often as my Agent did with Kaliyo. She has quite the mercenary interior underneath the goody-goody exterior.

Heck, had this sitting around, I’ll call it Night of the Living Dead Prompt: Tools of the Trade. Even though I haven’t really started Mako’s romance arc yet.

Mako returned his embrace, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. She stroked the back of his neck between his lekku. Her slender fingers traced a pair of shallow, parallel scars on either side of his spine. She cocked an eyebrow, “A slave collar?” she asked.

Rixik snorted softly, “I’m a Twi’lek. That’s a birthmark,” he said.

Mako giggled. She ran a finger down the scar on his cheek, “What about this one?” she asked.

He met her gaze with his violet eyes, “Backhanded for not making spice quota when I was a kid,” he said. He shifted his hands to her waist.

“On Ryloth?” she asked.

“Rori,” he said, bending in for a kiss, “never been to Ryloth.”

Mako pulled back, “Funny. You told Gault you got it in a knife fight on Nar Shaddaa,” she said, still smiling.

“Which version sounds sexier to you?” he asked.

She giggled again and shook her head, “You are a bad man, Jesp Rixik,” she said, poking him lightly at the base of his throat.
